I didn't even know they were still together. More shocked by that than that they're breaking up.

Ive never understood people enjoying unoriginal gak like that.

Why does taking an old well known story that every bastard has already read/seen anyways, and putting it in a modern American city actually entertain people?

1. Musical
2. It was a damn good musical. If I am saying that it must be excellent because I hate musicals. Its like saying Ran sucks because its essentially King Lear, Magnificant Seven sucks because its just Seven Samurai, or Beowulf sucks becuase it, well it does suck.

Frazz, the more we speak, the more I think you have in common with Cannerus!

Seriously.. is there anything more homoerotic than Musicals!?

I spit upon your musicals!

I must counter with...Chicago

I know, right? William Shakespeare was a hack for basing his play on
The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet!

Proof that musicals can be awesome.



The definitive version of War of the Worlds IMO.

He was an absolute power house on the drums and was not only technically gifted but a supreme force behind the music of Zepplin. One member of the band, I believe it was Robert Plant, felt so guilty over Bonzo's death that it caused friction within the band and this led to thier falling apart. A real shame as Zeplin are possibly the greatest rock band to come out of England or maybe anywhere else for that matter.

Interesting. It seems the same as with Bill Berry in REM, the drummer can be a very important part of the band's social dynamic, but it still seems they're not that important to the actual construction of songs.

Drummers. They're really nice people. Musically? .... uh. They're really nice people!

Do yourself a favour and YouTube anything by Led Zepplin live and witness the power and majesty of John Bonham.

I've heard a bunch of their stuff. They're very good at what they do, it just isn't my kind of thing.

Leonard Bernstein was mentioned because like Leonid Breznhev and everyone else mentioned in the song, his initials are LB.

Why are they listing a bunch of people with the initials LB? I don't know, it's Michael Stipe, he does random stuff.

Mixed martial arts and Top Gun, but musicals are definitely third.
